Addressing nontarget amplification in DNA metabarcoding studies of arthropod-feeding rodents.
Article in Mammal research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
High-throughput sequencing approaches have revolutionized how we study animal diets by enabling the detection of dietary components from the metabarcoding of DNA in excrement. Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase C subunit I (mtCOI) DNA metabarcoding is commonly used to study the diets of arthropod-feeding animals; however, this approach is susceptible to nontarget amplification of the consumer species mtCOI locus. Nontarget amplification is often an unforeseen complication that can drastically reduce the quality and utility of the results generated by high-throughput amplicon sequencing. By interrogating the diets of new world rodents in the genus
